Nitrate removal study of synthesized nano γ-alumina and magnetite-alumina nanocomposite adsorbents prepared by various methods and precursors.

ABSTRACT: The challenges in water treatment include the need for efficient removal of pollutants like nitrate, which poses significant environmental and health risks. Alumina's significance lies in its proven effectiveness as an adsorbent for nitrate removal due to its high surface area and affinity for nitrate ions. This study delves into the synthesis of differen nano-sized γ-alumina (γA1-5) employing diverse precursors and methods, including nepheline syenite, lime, aluminum hydroxide, precipitation, and hydrothermal processes at varying reaction times. Simultaneously, magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles and magnetite/γ-alumina nanocomposites (F_n/γA5) were synthesized using the co-precipitation method with varying weight ratios (n). Our primary objective was to optimi
